222. Two Training Centres and a Health Science Institute were established during the same period to meet the demand for health professionals. 223. As for the right to health it is worth mentioning the HIV/AIDS problem and the measures which Mozambique has taken to reduce rates of infection. 224.Mozambique has a population of about 20 million people and an HIV prevalence rate of 11.5% (13.1% for women and 9.2% for men). By October 2010, women represented 68% of those undergoing counseling and voluntary testing, and 64% of people on antiretrovirals. The expansion of health services and of the HIV control program, including the provision of antiretrovirals in rural areas depend upon the country’s economic and human resources. 225. Ever since the first case was diagnosed in 1984, the country has put in place a number of preventive and treatment measures (counseling and testing, and expanded treatment). According to INSIDA 2009, this has led to a reduction in the prevalence rate from 16% in 2007 to 11.5% in 2009. 226. Multisectoral coordination of every activity related to fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Mozambique falls under the jurisdiction of the National Campaign Against HIV/AIDS. A new National Strategic Plan Against HIV/AIDS for 20102014 (PEN III 2010-1014) has been launched. There has been a positive evaluation of the 2005-2009 Plan (PEN II, 2005-2009). 227.As for the implementation of PEN II, four of the seven target indicators under QAD-Health have been met. The targets were related to Vertical Transmission Prevention (PTV) and Friendly Adolescent and Youth Services (SAAJ). The results achieved followed the expansion of Health Care and Testing Services to needy areas. Adherence to these services was reportedly high. PTV services were introduced in 744 health units. 228.The Mozambique Government’s commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS is reflected at the highest level. The Head of State has undertaken an active campaign, reaching the country’s districts. Sectoral programs have been implemented. The government’s concern about the pandemic is reflected in the Presidential Initiative Against HIV/AIDS, which has been replicated at provincial and district levels. 229.In view of the results achieved with the 2007 Epidemiologic Surveillance Campaign, which revealed a growing infection rate, in November 2008 the Mozambique Government approved an Accelerated Prevention Strategy. A Multisectoral Reference Group, including senior officials from the relevant agencies, has been put in place to monitor this strategy. 230. The government has also approved an Orphan and Vulnerable Children Action Plan and has been establishing Orphan and Vulnerable Children Units at central and provincial levels. These units are primarily responsible for coordinating the activities of the various stakeholders and outlining priorities so as to ensure the access of children to basic social services.
